Regarding education and motherhood, I am reminded while reading this an important comment made to me by the Priest who married my wife and I: it is good to be educated, but not all good education is formal education. The priest then recounted to me how his father had a Grade 6 education, but was president of his provincial/state Ornithology Society. So absolutely, invest in a college education if you can, but don't ever let those costs prohibit you from pursuing an education.
This is really a separate but related issue, but as another Steubenville graduate, I did not like watching the rise in the cost of tuition persistently outstrip the overall rate of inflation. Consequently, unless you have significant financial support, you cannot get a degree at Steubenville, and then go into almost any kind of ministry position and be able to make payments on your student loans.
Ah! I always tell people that Hannah Coulter is my favorite book about marriage... it's definitely one of those books one benefits from re-reading every few years.
Thank you for your response regarding the infertility question. It was gracious and abounding in love. It filled many holes for me and has reinvigorated my sense of purpose. <3
I am almost certain I've seen a Kitchen Aid mixer in your Instagram pics. If you do have one, you can get an ice cream maker attachment to go with that mixer that does not cost as much as an entire machine.

The Blanket by the River brought me to tears. I hope these communities feel Jesus meeting them in their grief, it's been such an unfathomable loss.
